Brummel Eye Splice – 1 End

This method of creating a Brummel Eye Splice is recommended for polyester or nylon 12-strand single-braid ropes, namely our Static-12 and Static-12DS ropes. This variation of the Brummel Eye Splice is necessary when it is not possible to work with both ends of the rope to complete the splice. (For SupreemX-12 and other high modulus fibre ropes use the Brummel Eye Splice with Dyneema – 1 End instructions)

If you can work with both ends of the rope being spliced, you may want to use the standard Brummel Eye Splice instead.

Preparations

It is important to note that when we reference a “fid” or a number of “fid lengths” within these splicing instructions, we are referring to a “full fid length” which is calculated at 21 x the rope diameter. If you are using fids for your measurements, you must be sure to account for the type of fid you are using i.e. “half 10.5x, long 14x or full fids 21x”.

Stage 1 – Measurements & Marking

Make “mark 1” 1¼ fid lengths (26 times the rope’s diameter) from the bitter end.

Make “mark 2” 3x the diameter of the rope in distance from “mark 1” away from the bitter end.

From “mark 2”, shape or measure the eye and make “mark 3”.

From “mark 3”, make an “exit mark” 1-2/3 fid lengths away. (35 times the rope’s diameter)
